Seahawks Hire Solari
Posted by Stephen Rhodes on January 24th, 2008 filed in News 
Two days after Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Holmgren said he was going to replace former offensive line coach Bill Laveroni, he had no difficulty finding a replacement for him. The team hired former Chiefs offensive coordinator Mike Solari Thursday as offensive line coach.
Solari spent the last 11 years with Kansas City - 9 of them as offensive line coach and the last 2 as offensive coordinator. The Chiefs fired Solari after the team rushed for only 1,248 yards - the Chiefs’ worst total in a non-strike year. Solari was the tight ends and assistant offensive line coach with the San Francisco 49ers from 1992-96

Quoting the Seahawks website, “Laveroni fashioned one of the finest left sides of any offensive line in the NFL…” and coached them all the way to Super Bowl XL. That was only two years ago. How does he go from that to getting fired?
Bill Laveroni is a good coach and a good man. This year the team won the division and won a playoff game. Last year the team won the division and won a playoff game. The year before the team went to the Super Bowl. So lets fire a good man and a good coach who helped accomplish all this, and lets hire a coach who was dismissed after a 4-12 season.
Earning over 12M a year Alexander is ridiculously overpaid. For that kind of money he should be able to break tackles and run through defenders. Brian Westbrook earns under 4M and with an average offensive line runs and finds openings where there are none, and is running all the way to the Pro Bowl.
